UK: 113 cases of female genital mutilation reported to police in Birmingham, no prosecutions

Apr 8, 2019 4:00 pm By Joshua Winston

The West Midlands in the UK is a small section of England that has Birmingham at its centre. Birmingham as a city is unrecognisable as British, due to the high volume of Muslims residing there. It is also the city in which Muslims are currently protesting (still) against the teaching of LGBT studies in the classrooms. Muslim parents are going so far as to send gay teachers death threats online, claiming that they’ll kill them or shoot them if their child turns out to be gay. This isn’t new. It’s been going on since 2015, with dismembered dogs’ and cats’ heads being left hanging on the railings of some schools. And as usual, the police aren’t being as quick to arrest these Muslim parents as they would be if roles were reversed and if someone sent death threats to a Muslim.

In 2017, West Midlands police came under fire on Twitter for stating that it is not always in the child’s best interests for the parents to be arrested in any instance of a child showing signs of genital mutilation. The Chief Constable for the area, after much public outrage, took to Twitter to assure the public that prosecutions would be sought in every instance where a child has been genitally mutilated.

In spite of this, 113 cases of female genital mutilation (FGM) have been reported to the police, via a variety of sources ranging from schools, midwives, teachers, doctors, and so on, in the past year. Seven arrests have been made, but with no prosecutions.

FGM is physical abuse. Physical abuse does not come without attendant emotional and psychological abuse. The police don’t seem to recognise the nuanced elements of what it means for a child to endure FGM, or even to be abused, for that matter. They seem to think that cutting a child’s genitals is a stand-alone event with no further elements of associated abuse. If parents aren’t to be prosecuted, the very least that could be done to safeguard children is to place them in foster homes, or have them adopted out. That all sounds very simple, but even when it comes to foster care, the emphasis is still on raising the child as a Muslim (attending mosque, participating in Eid, attending Muslims schools, etc.). This is in spite of the fact that it was Islamic practice that led to the cutting of the child in the first place.

There are currently more Muslim children living in foster care in the UK than there are foster carers who are Muslims. Again, cultural sensitivity takes precedence over a child’s well-being. We are told that even although a child has had her genitals mutilated, it is of the utmost importance that that child be raised by Muslim foster carers, in order that their Muslim faith and cultural heritage and practices are maintained. This extends even to Muslim children who are born in the UK. Surely if a person is born in the UK, then her culture would be English or Welsh or Scottish, and not Muslim. Since when did “Muslim” become a culture? If your culture sanctions the cutting of a child’s genitals because of religious or cultural reasons, then perhaps it’s best that that child is no longer exposed to that culture.

    Very sad indeed to see this happening in a modern western nation. Perhaps even worse is that there seems to be no movement by the government to stop this cultural reversal with clear policies. The same is true in the USA for that matter. One party won’t discuss the issue and the other hardly cares. We are paralyzed by cultural sensitivities, group identity, instead of basic human rights.

      Mum’s the word when it comes to the very major bad facts of Islam. People don’t want to criticize a religion, and are unaware that Islam-the-religion is only one third of the belief system. The other two are government (Sharia).and military (Jihad).

      The Mayo Clinic did fire a Muslim doctor who praised FGM. The drive to get him fired was, in fact, spearheaded by a poster here at Jihad Watch:

      “Mayo Clinic fires doctor who said female genital mutilation is an “honor” for women”

      I do remember the firing of that doctor. Thank God for that! They just usually don’t want to offend Muslims. They (Dems) won’t say ANYTHING if Muslims complain about gays. If CHRISTIANS said anything about gays, there would be mass hysteria. HOMOPHOBIA!!! Yet, Christians don’t call for killing gays. When the head of Chick-Fil-A (CFA) simply shared his belief in traditional marriage, there was an uproar. Yet CFA does not discriminate against gays in hiring or in service. CFA is blocked from some universities and cities; yet when Islam complains about teaching about homosexuality? Crickets from the left.

    England is LOST!! Pm Churchill is not resting easy today! And ……. all the queen is worried about is if
    Harry and grifter Meghan will raise their baby as a gender neutral vegan! It’s the definition of insanity!

      You can take it from me that the Queen of England is worried about A LOT MORE than this baby ! The British way of life and it’s culture for one thing.

      As Trump remarked after meeting her privately, “she really loves her country”.

      The Queen may not be an executive Head of State like Trump, (who has much more personal power), but there has always been plenty of evidence that the Queen is deeply concerned about what is going on in British society. You can make a reliable assumption that she is extremely worried.

      The Prime Minister who began the policy of mass immigration, Blair, has never been invested with the honour of the Order of the Garter like other former PM’s. A conspicuous signal.

      Under the British Constitution “signalling” is one of the few political gestures the Sovereign can make without provoking a potentially disastrous constitutional rupture.

        The Royals haven’t done nearly enough “signalling” while their country sinks into an Islamic Sh!thole. IMO they are disgusting to let the Islamization of their once pleasant land occur while playing the celebrity high-living life.

        • gravenimage says

          Apr 9, 2019 at 9:14 pm

          Yes–the Royal Family should stand up, as the King did against the Nazis.

          But Prince Charles is actually Islamophilic. If the Queen says nothing now, the next king will probably welcome an Islamized Britain.

    One must travel to the UK to understand how horrible the situation is. I studied in the UK and went back for a conference. I will never ever set foot in this country again. It is not only Birmingham: every city has been transformed into a Pakistani hellhole. Try finding an Indian restaurant that is not Paki or Bangladeshi. Try finding a an Indian restaurant serving pork vindaloo. Say anything critical about islam and the police will come knocking on your door.

      eddie,
      I wonder what you mean by faith based religion?
      I would contend that the faith based religion of evolution falls into that category.
      You see, what is put forth as evidence is really just interpretation of evidence. Evidence can have more than one interpretation.

    Apr 8, 2019 at 4:56 pm

    Someone explain this to me … While the Leftards are willing to offer HUMAN SACRIFICES to Islam when WHITE GIRLS are offered to rape gangs and brown girls get their clitoris sawed off with kitchen knife or snipped with scissors … but the LEFTARDS can’t allow GAY MEN to be thrown off the roof.

    Why the double standard? Why are gay men MORE PRECIOUS than our innocent LITTLE GIRLS?

    Conclusion: little girls lives DON’T MATTER to the Leftards.

      I’m actually against Muslims raping Infidel girls *and* their throwing gay people off rooftops–as well as their mutilating their own children.

    It doesn’t matter why. Now it’s only a question of how long. We know that defending Islam even passively is equal to abandoning the principles behind free speech. But in the UK those in power seem to be acting in unison both in their compliance with Islamic blasphemy laws and their de-personing of it’s critics, especially the ones who make clear and valid arguments that paint Islam for what it is. But to look the other way when children are involved, simply out of personal image issues, makes me want to throw up. How did this willful ignorance of Islam and abandonment of self respect become normal?

      Because the British politicians and leaders are all traitors & scum, as they have demonstrated in parliament recently. Major unrest is coming to Britain soon.

  8. Wellington says

    Apr 8, 2019 at 5:08 pm

    If there were any prosecutions here for FGM, guaranteed that many, both Muslims and those pathetic dhimmis out there who shill for the worst religion of all time (this would include the present Pope who is an utter disgrace of a human being), would characterize such prosecutions as evidence of Islamophobia.

    Again, a la Orwell, all religions are to be treated equally except that one, Islam, is to be treated more equally than all others—and with a corollary here, to wit, Christianity is deserving of being treated “less equally” than others.

    What a phony world we live in. A barbaric world too, so often due to Mo’s warped creed still being accorded any respect at all. Respect for Islam in the modern era is dispositive of just what an Age of Nonsense our present age is. The widespread denigration of, and contempt for, Christianity by Western elites serves as yet another piece of evidence of the immense foolishness which characterizes our era.

    And Islam still is extended regard. Of course it is—and will as long as the truth about Islam is buried.

    Now this cruel, brutal and vicious Islamic tradition of female butchery which some Muslims so inappropriately call “female circumcision’ has spread like an infectious disease , or a plague , even to England. This heinous Islamic custom of misogyny has been exposed in the book by Brigitte Gabriel which is entitled THEY MUST BE STOPPED. For on page 178 it reveals to the reader that “One of the most devastating practices to young girls of the Islamic world is female genital mutilation. Young girls have their clitoris removed without anesthesia…”

    Indeed, they must be stopped !

    UK: 113 cases of female genital mutilation reported to police in Birmingham, no prosecutions
    ……………………….

    This is appalling, but not surprising. So far as I have heard, only a *single* case of FGM has ever come to trial, and this was of a doctor who had re-stitched up an infubulated woman after she had given birth, after she had told him–accurately, no doubt–that she would be at risk for being “Honor Killed” if he did not. (He was acquitted). This is, needless to say, *hardly* the usual FGM case of mutilating a child.

    More:

    The West Midlands in the UK is a small section of England that has Birmingham at its centre. Birmingham as a city is unrecognisable as British, due to the high volume of Muslims residing there.
    ……………………….

    My mother was born in Birmingham, *long* before this insanity was a problem there.

    More:

    In 2017, West Midlands police came under fire on Twitter for stating that it is not always in the child’s best interests for the parents to be arrested in any instance of a child showing signs of genital mutilation. The Chief Constable for the area, after much public outrage, took to Twitter to assure the public that prosecutions would be sought in every instance where a child has been genitally mutilated.
    ……………………….

    And yet, there are still no prosecutions there, and are not likely to be. My grandfather was a police superintendent in the region–again, long before this madness set in. I doubt he would have been able to imagine the police standing by as children were mutilated.

      There was a story from Canada a few years ago that families were sending back adopted muslim boys of 7 or 8 because they were afraid of the threats these ‘children’ were making to the wives of the families.

    Apr 8, 2019 at 8:40 pm

    FGM is child abuse. So UK police are tolerating Muslim abuse of children. Why? What are they afraid of? They must suffer from Ialamophobia. Surely the Islamic community doesn’t tolerate this. /s

    CHRISTIAN principles don’t allow for approval of homosexuality in any form…but killing someone because of it is so wrongful legally and morally….muslims look st it differently because their teachings condone murder of homosexuals. It’s not murder to them it is lawful in their sight and even if they don’t kill they harass….Pure meanness ..Now their hatred isn’t just against gays…it’s against everyone who don’t believe in their murderous cult..Religion of peace? It would be funny if it wasn’t so sickening.
    WHY IS THE WORLD JUST SITTING ON IT’S ARSE AND ALLOWING ISLAM TO CONTINUE AS A RELIGION INSTEAD OF A MURDEROUS CULT IS JUST BEYOND REASONING.
